Holmar [i.e. Helmar] Liederman (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Richard Norton said:

  Helmar Liederman of New York filed suit against the contest directors, Armand T. Nichols and Harry L. Godshall, Sr., for $150,000 due to their refusal to allow her to enter the national competition as "Miss Alaska" because she was a married woman, despite being authorized to compete by a newspaper in Juneau, Alaska. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_America_1923 I added her to Wikidata: www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q97952548

• B-59 said:

  Helmar Liederman from New York took part in the Miss America 1922 pageant as "Miss Alaska". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_America_1922 The reason why she was barred in 1923 seems to be that the Alaskan newspaper that accredited her was not authorized to do so - and she presumably never was in Alaska, s.
